Helpless
Sadness overwhelms
For something good
Going to be lost
The menace hangs
Looming so close now
Nothing you can do
Nothing you can do
To stop it from happening
Helpless but still holding on
The decision has been made
And the decision will not change
Will you survive?
Can you thrive?
Without someone
To keep what is
Still there?

A Best Friend
What happened to us?
We were always inseparable
But now so far apart
As I pass by
I watch you with her
We used to be like that
Always telling secrets
Gossiping about things
I miss that
But you've gone
And left me here
Looking for a replacement

So Close
Tears still lie
So close
So close
Even as the years go
Just underneath the surface
Silent goodbyes
So close
So close
To breaking down
You were here just a moment ago
Tiny little memories
So close
So close
The laughter and love
But still I want you here

Why Would It Hurt?
Why would it hurt?
The names that he says
The jokes he makes
Why would it hurt?
When I know they aren't true
When the mean nothing
Why would it hurt?
To know someone thought that about you
To know he judges you without knowing you
Why would it hurt?
But it does doesn't it?
It hurts

Message In A Bottle
Darkness dances
Shadow shapes twirl
Things left broken
Shattered beyond repair
Glass sharper than razors
Lie numerous against the floor
A masterpiece of dangerous things
Of shot down dreams
Locked away memories
Sealed with a silver kiss
Letters to a lover
Slowly travel the world
On a deep bed of blue
Roams lonely
A message in a bottle

Why Do You Sing?
A beautiful bird
Sits in the cage
And sings
Still it sings
Even after its imprisonment
And I cannot under stand why
Why do you sing your pretty song?
When you have no one but me to listen
Why do you sing your pretty song?
When your own kind is gone?

She Dies A Little More
Slowly
Ever so slowly
She dies a little more inside
Her dreams
What she hoped
To achieve wastes away
Never
Becoming the
Reality she wishes
Love
Lost and now
Forgotten beneath white ashes
Curiosity
Destroyed
Burned to cinders

Sitting On A Cloud
Sitting on a cloud
In the middle of the sky
Watching the world
As it passes by
Star dust
From the heavens
Falls slowly
Gently, like a leaf in autumn
Night turns to day
As twice as quickly as it came
One moment there
The next moment not
Shining sunsets
And rising dawns
Each one more special
Than the last
Each one a memory I hold dear

Gone Unnoticed
She watches as you walk away
Hand in hand with another girl
She's always watching from a distance
And you've never noticed
Lonely and broken hearted she's
Trying to figure out a way to be happy
Because she can't be happy with you
One day she'll find a guy
And you'll watch as they leave
And wonder how a girl like that went unnoticed by you

Why Can't I Forget?
Why can't I forget
The nights that we shared
The days that passed by
The light reflecting off your hair
Why can't I forget
Your beautiful smile
Your eyes bluer than the sky
The way my heart beat faster
Why can't I forget
The love that was near
But was lost, swept out to sea
When I close my eyes your always there
Why can't I forget you?
